Reply to: Noisy children in restaurants

Actually my son seems to be breaking the mold on that.

I personally think he's a little sh1te who so far has done about 2 grands worth of damage in the house in the 21 months on Gods earth. He is full of energy, cheeky, chirpy, very clever for his age, gives cuddles and kisses to all and has a very cherubic cheeky face. Other people love him and thing he is absolutely adorable. When he's giving them a cuddle and playfully tapping their cheeks and pretending to pull his head back and bring it forward quickly they think it's great when all I can think of is Yosser Hughes.

I'll have 'im

I dunno. there is a special joy in having kids, its what we are here for I suppose. to procreate.

But kids are like farts, they are great if they are your own, but absolutely fkng horrible if they are someone elses.

How many times have I heard 'oooooh look he's soooo advanced for his age' and all i wanted was to ram a cocktail stick into the little twats eyeball

so its no suprise when my kids come home with eyes like hedgehogs due to the cocktail sticks in them

I wouldnt take my kids anywhere public, unless I was in total control (easier said than done), if in doubt, stay out of the way (why should I inflict my problems on the rest)

just my 2p

Whose sockie are you then?

I would hazard that it's dh000g or whatever. We were talking about his ilk at my last tutorial - masterbatetium magnus.

My thoughts exactly. Other people's kids are mostly 'orrible.

There is only one way kids will learn how to behave in restaurants and that is to take them out to restaurants. Their parents then have to tell them off if they misbehave (and leave before dessert if the little darlings won't toe the line). The kids will soon catch on.

Indeed, but the education starts at home by teaching them how to behave at the dinner table. Just basic parenting.

You can have a life and have kids. I sort of resent the implication in these types of threads that those of us with kids are somehow to be pitied.

We have 3 boys and I pity me and SY02. Does this count?

[suityou01]

I find people who don't want kids tend to be self centred selfish egotistical winkers.

They give many reasons for not wanting kids but it all boils down to "I cannot be arsed because I am the most important person in my life."

On the subject of kids in planes/restuarants/other public places I would expect them to an extent to behave like average adults - because lets be honest how many times have you gone out and had your evening ruined by an adult as opposed to a child.

I once chatted with a colleague about working for different managers. The ones who had kids were far more understanding and easy going.

These Double Income No Kids ruthless career type managers were typically utter c***s.

Oh, colourful - I love cartoon bedding for adults. Great look.

Is that what guitar man had on his bed?

It was the guitar playing really that put you off, it was the cartoon bedding, wasn't it?

Bedsheets actually, but I had to hang them up to dry.
